Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Weird thing eh? I am posting more during the school term than during the holidays. But that's probably because this week is Explorers and Connectors Week, which explains why I have been so free. Once E&C week is over, the homework will start piling again. Which I why i should post now.
Yesterday was Day 1 of E&C week. Trip to Kampong Glam. Not exactly boring. I could have been extremely boring, if not for me and my friends acting like complete retards e.g running in the sprinkler water. Not being sarcastic, but the best time were our free times when the guide wasn't speaking. But it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Was sure tomorrow would be a lot better. Kayaking. I was right.
Hah. I knew kayaking would be fun. But didn't expect it to be this fun. I mean really. It was that fun. The day didn't really start off well. The bus driver got us lost. But we eventually arrived at Changi Coastal Adventure Centre. The theory lesson was scary yet funny. The instructor was like listing the possible scenarios, and I was like saying to Cyrus, "We're gonna die." Kinda funny. "If i die, I love you."
Finally, we could go into the water. Was sharing kayak with Cyrus. It could quite a long time for the people to drag their kayaks down because it was quite heavy. Good time we helped them. Next was buoyancy test. We were made to link arms and walk into the sea. If our PFD was working, we should be able to float. Don't know why, but it was very funny.
Finally, could go into the water(with our kayaks). Me and Cyrus were off the first. We were suppose to be following the instructor. Honestly. We were extremely good rowers. Really good. You wouldn't even been able to tell that this was our first time kayaking. Rafted up with our instructor. Everyone finally rafted up. Went rowing around again to some buoy. Hah. As usual, me and Cyrus were the first there. Rafted up again. Repeated the process for about 2 more times.
But the most fun by far was the capsise drill. We were suppose to capsise and wait for other people to rescue us. Super fun. Me and Cyrus were so looking forward to this moment. First to abandon ship. We were suppose to tip the boat over. But me and Cyrus were flying through the air. We jumped off the kayak. Jumped very far. Rescue finally came. Once again, super fun. Our turn to rescue. Went for Brandon and Wei Yuan. We actually got them up on the boat. But suddenly, they toppled over again. I was like laughing like siao. Took a while for us to get them up again. Muscles were aching, both from paddling and laughing. Paddled all the way back again. Dragged the kayak up. Helped some people. Muscles were killing me. I mean really. They were burning.
Washed up. Good time i brought everything-- extra clothes, towel, extra shoes, shampoo. We were drenched.
The surprising thing is E&C is very good so far. So far. Tomorrow, Chinese culture camp. Oh no. I am in trouble. Serious trouble.
